issuetype=Epic not working in JQL

Charles Moga April 2, 2019

I must be doing something fundamentally wrong but this simple query does not work in JIRA JQL:

issuetype = Epic

In search it works withount any problem, showing me all my epics and if I change to

issuetype != Epic

again it works showing me all non-epic issues.

What am I doing wrong?

HI @Charles Moga 

As you mentioned in description,

in first JQL .... issuetype = Epic : It's showing all the epic.

in second JQL....  issuetype != Epic : It's showing another issue types excluding Epic..correct.

So both are correct one...nothing wrong in this...

No. What I am trying to say if I search issues (Not JQL, but Issues->Search Issues) and use the same query I can see all my Epics.

The problem is I cannot create Quick filter because it uses JQL, which does not work for the same query.

Yes, filter works as I mentioned at the very beginning. There is a difference between filters and quick filtersqf.png

Ahh..sorry my mistakes.

Yes ...Quick filters and filters are different...in quick filter you will file all the epics n versions in left hand side panel.
